We have a fume of some kind burning or eyes and noses. its more intense coming through the vents or if the weather is warmer. Possible DEF fluid leaking?? not sure how it would be coming through the vents?

Def fluid smells like grease to me. I don’t think it would be burning your eyes. Turn the air recirculation on and see if you still get the fumes.

Exhaust leak at joint downpipe.

 

Reading about the vent burning eye and nose issue . I have a 3500 GMC duramax diesel that has that issue . Dealer can’t replicate , GM doesn’t confirm and issue but have had it for 3-4 months now and not resolved. How can I tell the dealer to fix it , still under warranty. Or who at GM can I call ? Thanks rick park Louisville ky

All the time or just sometimes?

 

In any case there is likely soot (if an exhaust leak) or burned on fuel/(staining (if fuel leaking) at the location where the smoke/smell is coming from.  

 

 

In back of Owners Manual GM has a suggested process to follow if your not happy with the service advisor. 

(be pleasant, you'll likely have better results) 

The info includes how to contact GM if the other steps don't work. 

 

Document the steps you take at the dealer.

Names, dates, discussion points, etc.

After driving to farm it always has the acid vapor after starting the next day . Assume it’s the DEF fluid . Have noticed another comment on this site mentioned the same issue , burning eyes and nose . Asked the dealer rep about this site and sent a copy of that complaint from 2019 to him , his comment , anyone can post anything on that site , basically stating it unreliable. He also told me to have my truck professionally detailed before I bring it back because it was dirty ( dusty ) , it’s a farm truck ! How can u be civil when dealing with an idiot . Was hoping to find the fix here and tell the dealer what to do . My direct email is [email protected] if I have an answer . Thanks rick park

Look at comment by Kyers3 dated sept 11, 2019 , “eyes and nose burn “…unfortunately they haven’t been back to the site since than and likely won’t reply to my questions about how the problem was resolved.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
